13 Gifts for You!

Break out the party favors! This month Castle in the Air celebrates 13 years of turning dreams into reality. We couldn’t have made it this far without our friends and customers, and so we’ve put together 13 special giveaways as our way of saying thanks.

We’re revealing the 13 gifts in batches, starting with the first four. Don’t wait to claim your gifts! Each of these prizes is available only during the month of May, and some of them are limited in quantity.

First Batch: Crafters Cavalcade

Gift 1: Vintage Trade Card Downloads

If you’ve visited Castle in the Air lately, you may have seen our printed summer class schedule, laid out to look like a classic newspaper. This time around, we’ve illustrated it with images from vintage trade cards. You can do the same for your projects by downloading a page of high-resolution trade card images from our collection.

Gift 2: French Paper Model Download

Castle in the Air’s collection of antique French paper models is second to none, and crafters love our reprints of these timeless toys. Whether you plan to cut and assemble the model or simply print it to hang on the wall as art, you’ll love the detail and charm of this springtime park scene. Check out the entire line at our Online Shoppe.

Gift 3: Victorian Scrap Download

Scrapbooking is another time-honored craft that is still popular today. Castle in the Air stocks scrap made by the same companies—and from the same molds—as they were in the Victorian era, as well as older pieces in our ephemera packs. We’ve scanned in some of our vintage scrap for you to download and use in your projects.

Gift 4: Trio of Castle in the Air Postcards

Long live the postal service! Castle in the Air postcards are the most popular item in our store, and now you can take home three free cards from our rack. Download this printable coupon and bring it to the shop, or put it in an envelope and mail it to us along with your postal address. You’ll be entitled to three Castle in the Air postcards—visitors can pick their own, and our far-off friends will receive a random trio.

Stay tuned for more gift announcements as our 13th-anniversary celebration continues. Castle in the Air email list members hear all the news first, so if you’re not already on the list, join today!

I downloaded your free trading cards, the mermaids being my favorite. Upon closer inspection I read the bottom and it was an old advertisement for someone in Lowell, MA. That is where I grew up and work today. How very awesome!
